What is dry skin brushing? Check out my Facebook page or Instagram for a short video!
Dry skin brushing is a gentle, natural way to support your body’s innate routes of elimination. The body detoxifies by several main mechanisms: the liver sends waste to the intestines, the kidneys send waste to the urine, we breathe out carbon dioxide and the skin also plays a role as an organ of elimination.
Dry skin brushing supports skin health, lymphatic flow and healthy detox. You simply take a natural, stiff-bristled brush and brush your entire body toward the heart. Press firmly but not hard enough to scratch yourself. Your skin may be slightly pink afterwards. Don’t forget the soles of your feet!
Dry skin brushing increases circulation to the skin, removes dead skin cells and opens the pores. It is best done before a shower.
How often should you dry skin brush? You can do it once a week, once a month or as part of a periodic detox. I like to encourage patients to do a cleanse at least once a year. Dry skin brushing is a quick and simple way to improve your skincare routine and also help support the body’s natural detoxification processes.
